DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, reference is made to theaccompanying drawings, which form a part hereof. In the drawings,similar symbols typically identify similar components, unless contextdictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in thedetailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting.Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made,without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matterpresented here.

An exemplary environment is depicted in FIG. 1 in which one or moreaspects of various embodiments may be implemented. In the illustratedenvironment, an exemplary system 100 may include at least anintra-e-paper assembly or other bendable containing electronic device(herein “e-paper”) 102 for display communication, storage, manipulation,broadcast, or other use of information, including visual, auditory, orotherwise oriented, based upon conformation of the e-paper and/orclassification based upon conformation of the e-paper and/orclassification of the information being considered for display or otheruse.

Some exemplary implementations of the e-paper 102 may utilize variousdisplay aspects related to technology commonly referred to as“electronic paper,” “e-paper,” “electronic ink,” and “e-ink” such asplate type electronics using liquid crystal electronics or organicelectroluminescence electronics. Some exemplary implementations may useone or more thin and/or foldable electronic circuit boards to provide amore paper-like flexibility for the e-paper 102 without need for hingedconnections between portions or regions of the e-paper. Otherimplementations of the e-paper may also have alone or in combinationwith the flexible portions more rigid type portions such as with theplate type electronics in which various portions or regions of thee-paper 102 are coupled together with mechanical connectors such ashinges or micro-hinges or other coupling mechanisms. Some exemplaryimplementations may have one or more batteries mounted thereon tofurnish power for changing displayed content. Some exemplaryimplementations may require power for maintaining the displayed content.Other exemplary implementations may have display aspects with a memoryfunction in lieu of such power requirements.

Some exemplary implementations of the e-paper 102 may utilize displayaspects of microcapsule electrophoretic or twist ball type electronics.An exemplary microcapsule-electrophoretic display unit implementationmay not require power for maintaining the displayed content.

In some exemplary implementations, black (or other colored particles)charged to negative polarity and white (or other colored particles)charged to positive polarity may be contained in transparentmicrocapsules that are positioned between films having a transparentelectrode such as indium tin oxide (ITO). When a voltage is used toapply negative electric charge to a specific portion of microcapsules,the white (or other colored particles) move to a lower microcapsuleportion and the black (or other colored particles) electrophoreticallymigrate toward an upper microcapsule portion. Consequently, an image ofwhite (or one or more other colors) and black (or one or more othercolors) may be displayed on the exemplary implementation of the e-paper102.

When positive electric charge is applied to an entire surface displayportion and/or an internal display portion beneath the surface displayportion of the e-paper 102, the white particles may move to an upperportion of a part of the microcapsule. Consequently, the surface becomeswhite, which may be used to delete an image.Microcapsule-electrophoretic exemplary versions of the e-paper 102 mayrequire power to move the white and black particles at the time ofrewrite. However, because the white and black particles normally stay onthe electrode due to electrostatic adsorption or intermolecular force,power may not be required to maintain displayed content akin to a memoryfunction.

An exemplary twist-ball (Gyricon bead) implementation of the e-paper 102may use balls having a spherical diameter of 10 micrometers to 100micrometers, which may be painted, respectively, in two colors (forexample, white and black) for each hemisphere, have charged states (plusand minus) corresponding to the respective colors, and may be buried ina transparent insulating sheet put between a pair of electrodes. Ballspainted in two colors may be supported in an insulating liquid such assilicon oil in a cavity slightly larger than the ball diameter so thatapplied voltage rotates the charged ball to display one of the paintedcolors. Since the rotated ball may be positionally fixed byelectrostatic adsorption, if the applied voltage is removed, displayedcontent may remain without continuing to apply power. Other aspects ofapproaches to e-paper displays may be used by other implementations ofthe e-paper 102. For instance, a bendable A4 sized display panel by LGPhilips of South Korea reportedly measures 35.9-centimeters diagonally,is 0.3-millimeter thick, and may display up to 4,096 colors whilemaintaining the energy efficient qualities that inevitably come withusing energy only when the image changes. Supporting e-paper displayaspects may be further found in various technical documents such asInternational PCT Application Publication Nos. WO2007/111382;WO2006/040725; U.S. Published Patent Application Nos. 2007/0242033;2007/0247422; 2008/0129647; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,577,496; 7,195,170.

Exemplary implementations of the system 100 may also include otherinstances of the e-paper 102, which may exchange information betweeneach other through inter-intra information flows 103. The inter-intrainformation flows 103 may be supported through radio frequencycommunication, electrical surface contact, radio frequencyidentification (RFID), fiber optical, infrared, wireless networkprotocols, or other.

The system 100 may also include one or more instances of extra-e-paperassemblies (herein “external devices”) 104, which may exchangeinformation between each other through inter-extra information flows105. One or more of the external devices 104 may receive information toone or more of the e-papers 102 through intra-extra information flow 106and may send information to one or more of the e-papers throughextra-intra information flow 108. The external devices 104, as alsocontemplated with related prior filed applications, may incorporatedinto services and facilities related to sports stadiums including butnot limited to baseball, football, basketball, hockey, auto racing,horse racing, etc, (e.g. Qwest stadium, etc), convention centers (e.g.Seattle Convention Center), other stadium facilities, coffee houses suchas Starbucks, Tully's etc. other meeting places, business centers,hotels, and other venues.

A top plan view of an exemplary implementation 602 of the e-paper 102 isshown in FIG. 20 as having a plurality of regions 604 separated byborders 606. The number of the regions and the shape of each of theregions may vary depending upon particular implementations of thee-paper. Consequently, the number and shapes of the borders 606 may alsovary based on specifics of a particular implementation of the e-paper102.

The regions 604 and the borders 606 may be either virtual or physical.Virtual implementations may be based upon a user display selection todisplay on a plurality of different areas of the e-paper 602 variousfiles or other items having different content. There may be a one to onecorrelation between these areas and the regions 604 but in other casesother sorts of correlations are possible. Another example of virtualimplementations of the regions 604 and the borders 606 may includedisplaying different user interfaces to different computer programs ondifferent areas of a display. At least some times the virtualimplementations of the regions 604 and the borders 606 may be readilymodified or replaced outright. Numerous other examples exist for virtualimplementations of the regions 604 and the borders 606.

For instance, atleast a portion of the regions 604 of the e-paper 602 may be separatee-paper portions separated by the borders 606 with the borders beinghinges or micro-hinges or other physical connections.

With both the virtual and the physical implementations of the regions604 and the borders 606 of the e-paper 602, conformations such as bends,folds, or other may exist along the borders but may also exist withinone or more of the regions themselves. Conformations may refer toparticular localized physical aspects such as bends, folds, twists, etcoccurring in one or more of the regions 604 or along one or more of theborders 606. In other implementations, one or more conformations mayrefer to general shapes of the e-paper 602 as resultant from one or moreother localized conformations of the e-paper.

In someimplementations each of the display portions 608 are able to displayinformation under independent control. For instance, the surface portion608 a may be used to either block or allow viewing from a displaysurface 610 of information being displayed by the internal portion 608 bor the surface portion 608 a and the internal portion 608 b may be usedin conjunction to display information together from the display surface610. Meanwhile, the surface portion 608 c could be displayinginformation from a display surface 612. Sensors 614, implementations ofthe sensor 144, are shown coupled with the display portions 608 of thee-paper 602. In other implementations, one or more of the sensors 144may be located in other configurations relative to the display portions608 such as alternating with the display portions in juxtaposition orotherwise internally located along with one or more of the displayportions.

The exemplary implementation602 may also include another implementation of the sensor 144 in theform of a sensor 616 (such as for stress, strain, force, acceleration,etc) and a sensor 618 (such as optical fiber based). These alternativesensor implementations including the sensor 616 and the sensor 618 maybe generally represented by the sensors 614 as well as the sensor 144.The exemplary implementation 602 may include capabilities to displayinformation based upon a classification of the information and ane-paper conformation such as shown in FIG. 23 in which a display ofinformation 620 having a classification of “private” occurs from thedisplay surface 610 (being the inside surface of the illustrated foldedconformation) and in which a display of information 622 having aclassification of “public” classification occurs from the displaysurface 612 (being the outside surface of the illustrated foldedconformation). An exemplary angle of bend 624 and an angle of bend 624 aare is also noted in FIG. 23 since they may be included with otherindicators such as a change of conformation between the bend 624 and thebend 624 a to be used to describe a particular e-paper conformation.

An exemplary implementation may include one or more of thefolding sequence modules 518 of FIG. 19A directing the acquisitionthrough the extra-intra information flow 108 (see FIG. 1) of one or moreorders of folding sequences (e.g. one or more of the sensors 614 (seeFIG. 26) as exemplary implementations of the sensor 144 (see FIG. 4) mayobtain sensor information over one or more periods of time to becompared by the recognition engine 156 (see FIG. 5) with sensorinformation obtained previously over one or more periods of time withrespect to one or more orders of folding sequences that the e-paper 102may assume such as a folding sequence order involving the first change630 a and the second change 630 b of the exemplary sequence 630 ofconformations representing a folding sequence order of the region 604 aand the region 604 b of the exemplary implementation 602 of the e-paper102 occurring in a time ordered sequence as illustrated in FIG. 26).

For instance, in some implementations, the exemplary operation O11 mayinclude the operation of O1116 for one or more bend angle modulesconfigured to direct obtaining angle of bend information associated withone or more positions of one or more portions of one or more regions ofthe bendable electronic device. Since bend number information may berelated to the number of folds or bends that a particular conformationmay have in general and/or may also relate to the number of various typeof folds or bonds such as based upon the orientation and/or extent ofeach of the folds or bends, bend number information associated with oneor more changes in one or more sequences of two or more conformationsmay regard how bend number changes with changes in the one or moresequences.

Those having ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the state ofthe art has progressed to the point where there is little distinctionleft between hardware and software implementations of aspects ofsystems; the use of hardware or software is generally (but not always,in that in certain contexts the choice between hardware and software maybecome significant) a design choice representing cost vs. efficiencytradeoffs. Those having skill in the art will appreciate that there arevarious vehicles by which processes and/or systems and/or othertechnologies described herein may be effected (e.g., hardware, software,and/or firmware), and that the preferred vehicle will vary with thecontext in which the processes and/or systems and/or other technologiesare deployed.

Hence, there are several possible vehicles bywhich the processes and/or devices and/or other technologies describedherein may be effected, none of which is inherently superior to theother in that any vehicle to be utilized is a choice dependent upon thecontext in which the vehicle will be deployed and the specific concerns(e.g., speed, flexibility, or predictability) of the implementer, any ofwhich may vary. Those skilled in the art will recognize that opticalaspects of implementations will typically employ optically-orientedhardware, software, and or firmware.

Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve aparticular functionality may be seen as “associated with” each othersuch that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective ofarchitectures or intermedial components. Likewise, any two components soassociated may also be viewed as being “operably connected”, or“operably coupled”, to each other to achieve the desired functionality,and any two components capable of being so associated may also be viewedas being “operably couplable”, to each other to achieve the desiredfunctionality. Specific examples of operably couplable include but arenot limited to physically mateable and/or physically interactingcomponents and/or wirelessly interactable and/or wirelessly interactingcomponents and/or logically interacting and/or logically interactablecomponents.

While particular aspects of the present subject matter described hereinhave been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled inthe art that, based upon the teachings herein, changes and modificationsmay be made without departing from the subject matter described hereinand its broader aspects and, therefore, the appended claims are toencompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as arewithin the true spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein.Furthermore, it is to be understood that the invention is defined by theappended claims.

It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, termsused herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of theappended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term“including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” theterm “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term“includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,”etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if aspecific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such anintent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence ofsuch recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid tounderstanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of theintroductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claimrecitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed toimply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinitearticles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing suchintroduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one suchrecitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases“one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or“an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “atleast one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use ofdefinite articles used to introduce claim recitations.

In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitationis explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that suchrecitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recitednumber (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without othermodifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or morerecitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a conventionanalogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in generalsuch a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the artwould understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one ofA, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have Aalone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and Ctogether, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.).

In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A,B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended inthe sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention(e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include butnot be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and Btogether, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and Ctogether, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the artthat virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or morealternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings,should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including oneof the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, thephrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A”or “B” or “A and B.”
